The main component of the project was home visits conducted by a case manager. During the home visits the case manager educated the participant on asthma, triggers, self-management, and medications. A home assessment was also performed using a checklist and survey to identify triggers. Mattress and pillow covers, an Asthma Kit and fanny pack were provided.

The project had a positive impact on peak flow meter use, as well as knowledge of asthma and self-care practices, confidence in managing asthma, use of strategies to improve communication with the provider, and satisfaction with the program.

The project ended in 2004, but the Department of Health's Asthma Program is currently providing funding to develop asthma educational materials and educational outreach programs for seniors based on the information, experience and lessons learned from the Pilot Project.
